I am a Kentucky native and received my bachelor’s degree in athletic training from Northern Kentucky University in 2015. While at NKU, I worked with several high schools, college softball and Cincinnati Ballet. Following college I worked as an athletic trainer for ESPN Wide World of Sports as well as Disney Theme Parks. I also worked as a professional dancer/performer in Orlando and across the US. Upon returning to KY, I worked for a local physical therapy clinic where I focused on Pilates based rehab. As a former dancer and trampoline and tumbling gymnast, I have always had a passion for dance and gymnastics and continue that passion as an Athletic Trainer. Along with working at Cincinnati Children’s, I lead dance and gymnastics injury prevention classes for local studios and gyms. When not working I enjoy coaching, boating and traveling.

I’m originally from Wisconsin and grew up playing a variety of sports but stuck with volleyball and track through high school—that’s when I first realized I wanted to become an athletic trainer. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Movement Science in 2024 and my master’s degree in Athletic Training in 2025, both from Winona State University in Minnesota. During my clinical rotations, I worked with high school football, soccer, basketball, baseball, softball, and track, as well as collegiate men’s hockey, women’s gymnastics, and men’s football. One of my most memorable experiences was spending fall camp and most of the season with the University of Las Vegas Nevada’s Division I football team in fall 2024. While in school, I also became certified as a clinical exercise specialist (CES). I’m a proud member of NATA. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, reading, going to the gym, and spending time with friends and family.
